Chapter 463 - Chapter 412: The Strongest Solo Guild in the Game?
Somehow, we managed to safely exit the cave by backing out.
I figure there's less than five minutes left on the live stream, but…
"Shou-kun. There's something we need to discuss with the viewers."
"Huh? Oh, right! Okay, so we might run a little over, but I'll talk as we head back."
"Understood!"
[Sharlun]: "What, what? A big announcement?"
[Aoisan]: "Oh, are you two making it official? Congratulations!"
[Skinko]: "Don't tell me, a declaration of nationhood!?"
[Paper]: "Doki doki..."
Etc., etc.
Asking Lupi and True to stay on alert, I turned the [Small Magic Boat] around.
Can I go faster on the way back? A real boat would be noisy with engine sounds, but this boat glides along truly silently.
"Uh, what should I talk about first? Oh, remember that broken piano in the mansion? It's with Azure-san right now. I don't think I can fix it myself."
"Yes."
"And if even the Dragonkin can't fix it, I was thinking of asking a player on the mainland."
[Ashleaf]: "Piano repair!?"
[Bluesha]: "So it'll be a request from the Dragonkin?"
[Doumin]: "I have [Woodcraft], but I'd be terrified of breaking it..."
[Fritee]: "No, seriously, you'd need a real-life professional for this, wouldn't you?"
Etc., etc.
Yeah, I guess so. If it could be fixed with [Woodcraft] or [Crafting], I probably could have done it myself. Piano wires, though… is that [Blacksmithing]? [Crafting]? Or an even higher skill?
"Anyway, moving on from that."
"Yes."
"I re-examined the storage and found something called a [Magic Certificate Management Device], which seems to be a magic tool for player guilds..."
"There were blank [Guild Card]s too."
"So, I can create a guild now."
As I said that, the comments started flowing like a waterfall… sigh, I can't read them anymore.
I wonder if Mion can read them. I'll just trust that Yata-sensei is providing backup.
"But you haven't decided to actually start a guild yet, right?"
"Right. And this connects to the piano repair I just mentioned..."
[Diash]: "A piano repair quest from Shou-kun!"
[Uppii]: "The Dragonkin as a guild backer!?"
[Kaguriko]: "The strongest solo guild is about to be born...!"
[Master Chef]: "Where will the guild's branch office be!?"
Etc., etc.
See? Everyone's getting ahead of themselves!
"If Argenta-san can't fix it, I'm thinking of creating a guild to make it an official request."
"Yes."
"Well, the detailed stuff will probably be a bit further down the line, but about establishing a guild itself… what do you all think?"
[Gafugafu]: "Let's make one now! Make one immediately!"
[Remensky]: "Totally agree! No reason not to lol."
[Daytron]: "
[Minamiruge]: "Do whatever you want lol."
Etc., etc.
Ah, good. Actually, I'm happy everyone's in favor, but it almost feels like I'm being rushed...
"First, we need to see if the piano can be fixed."
"Right. Well, since everyone's so supportive, I think I'll go ahead and establish a guild even if the piano thing doesn't pan out."
"Understood!"
If that's the case, I'll need to get official approval from Argenta-san, and then think of a guild name.
I'll ask Mion.
…
…
…
Yata-sensei was watching, after all. I feel relieved.
We ran over by about ten minutes, but that's within an acceptable range, right?
"Shou-kun, great work. That door not opening was..."
"You too, Mion. Remember to take off the ring with your gloves. It'd be problematic if someone asked why I have the ring with the authority."
"As expected!"
I should probably keep taking it off during live streams in the future.
Or maybe it'd be easier to just say I found it somewhere. Like, on a desk in the mansion?
"Ah!"
It's true, I hadn't gotten around to discussing the quest rewards.
That, too, I'll probably have to consult with Argenta-san about, right? The alcohol will surely be desired by the Dragonkin and the Dwarves.
"Woof."
"Oh, I see the lighthouse."
It took about 30 minutes to get there, but we made it back in about 15.
That was still only about 70% of max speed. If I went all out, I could probably reach the northern tip of the island in about 10 minutes. Maybe I could circle the island in an hour and a half?
"Kyukyu?"
"Yeah, go ahead. Oh, can someone go report that we're back?"
"Kyu~"
True and the others wanted to go fishing, so I left it to them.
It seems one of the slightly injured ones went to report back to Shal and the others waiting at the port.
"Um, we have about an hour left, right?"
"Yes."
So, I guess we'll wrap up after I join True and the others for some fishing?
"Um, I have an album recording scheduled for late August."
"That's the plan."
"Yes."
The training camp is pretty much a sightseeing trip, so I want to make sure we can go without any worries.
After that, I'm going to my grandpa's house for Obon, and once that's over, it'll already be the latter half of August.
And Mion has an album recording. If she's singing several songs, it probably won't be finished in one day, will it? What's typical for that kind of thing?
"Mion, do you know how long the album recording usually takes?"
"My mother said it's better to plan for about a week. It depends on the number of songs, though."
If they record one or two songs from afternoon to evening, then for ten songs, it would be 5 to 10 days.
How many songs have been released so far, I wonder? Some weren't sung by Mion, but what will happen with those?
